(CNSNews.com) - In Texas, where the state House today approved a bill that would prohibit abortion after the 20th week of pregnancy, 63 percent of the babies aborted in the most recent year on record were black or Hispanic, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

In fact, the black and Hispanic babies aborted in Texas in the latest year on record exceeded the entire population of the city of Galveston.

Each year, the CDC publishes an Abortion Surveillance report. The most recent report, published on Nov. 23, 2012, presents abortion data for calendar year 2009. For that year, 27 states plus the District of Columbia provided the CDC not only with their overall abortion numbers, but also with those numbers categorized by how many abortions were done on non-Hispanic white women, non-Hispanic black women, Hispanic women, and women of other races or ethnicities. (New York City also reported the abortions done within the municipality and the race and ethnicity of the women whose babies were aborted.)

Overall, there were 435,480 abortions in these 27 states and the District of Columbia that reported abortion by race and ethnicity for 2009. Of these 435,480 abortions, 163,975 (or 37.7 percent) killed non-Hispanic white babies, 154,266 (or 35.4 percent) killed non-Hispanic black babies, 89,846 (or 20.6 percent) killed Hispanic babies, and 27,393 (or 6.3 percent) killed babies of other races or ethnicities.

Someone did a statistical analysis on abortions a few years ago and figured out, IIRC, that 80% of the victims would have been future Democrats. Obviously doesn’t make it right, but not sure what they are thinking. Of course, on our side we have Rubio trying to give Obama a hand up to a lame duck loser.

(It's over Johnny. The America you knew is gone. Denial serves no purpose.)

I think what will inevitably change abortion laws is what changed them in India (the largest democracy in the world): too many females being aborted. I was recently surprised to see a 3:2 male:female ratio at a son’s graduation (they couldn’t hide it because they were in pairs for the procession, and the whole later part of the procession was boys paired together).
